Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced
Mid-Level Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Chassis Powertrain Mounts
to own the design, validation, integration, and engineering release of vehicle powertrain isolation systems. In this role, you will lead the development of engine, transmission, and e-drive mounting systems (elastomeric, hydraulic, and structural brackets) to optimize vehicle NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness), durability, and dynamic performance.
This position operates under a remote modality within Mexico but requires active on-site presence at manufacturing facilities and technical centers in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe (CDMX) to support launch builds, physical testing, supplier alignment, and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
<ul>
<li>Product Engineering &amp; Release:
Lead the full lifecycle ownership (concept through production release) of powertrain mount assemblies, structural brackets, and isolation components in PLM/BOM systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Enovia).</li>
<li>System Design &amp; Optimization:
Define dynamic stiffness, damping targets, packaging clearances, and structural integrity for powertrain mounts, balancing NVH characteristics, durability, and mass/cost constraints.</li>
<li>Supplier Management:
Direct Tier-1 suppliers through component design reviews, tooling timelines, prototype deliveries, and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) milestones.</li>
<li>Validation &amp; DVP&amp;R Execution:
Author, track, and execute Design Verification Plans &amp; Reports (DVP&amp;R), evaluating physical rig testing, multi-axis shaker testing, and vehicle-level durability/NVH results.</li>
<li>On-Site Plant &amp; Launch Support:
Provide hands-on engineering support at assembly plants in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe during pre-production builds and trial runs to address build issues, clearance concerns, and torque-tooling interfaces.</li>
<li>Problem Solving &amp; Quality Improvement:
Lead cross-functional root cause investigations (8D, DFMEA, Fishbone) for plant build issues, supplier quality defects, or field warranty claims.</li>
</ul>
Qualifications &amp; Requirements
<ul>
<li>Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.</li>
<li>Experience:
Minimum of
3+ years
of professional experience in automotive product development, specifically working on powertrain mounts, chassis rubber-metal components, or powertrain isolation systems.</li>
<li>Technical Mastery:</li>
<li>Proficiency in 3D CAD platforms (e.g., CATIA V5/V6, Siemens NX) and product data management systems.</li>
<li>Solid understanding of vehicle dynamics, powertrain roll modes, elastomer/hydraulic damping behavior, and mechanical fatigue.</li>
<li>Advanced application of GD&amp;T, stack-up analysis, DFMEA, and manufacturing processes (aluminum casting, stamping, vulcanization).</li>
<li>Language Skills:
Full business fluency in Spanish and advanced professional proficiency in English (written and spoken).</li>
<li>Mobility:
Willingness and ability to travel up to 25–30% to Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe (CDMX) based on program milestones and manufacturing builds.</li>
</ul>
Preferred Qualifications
<ul>
<li>Experience with electric vehicle (EV) e-drive/e-motor mounting systems or high-torque application mounting solutions.</li>
<li>Familiarity with FEA/CAE dynamic simulation interpretation (ANSYS, ABAQUS, or Adams/Engine).</li>
<li>Direct experience working in assembly plant environments during new product launches in Mexico.</li>
</ul>
